What is watermelon pizza made of?

Watermelon pizza is made using a thick, round slice of watermelon as the base or "crust." It's typically topped with yogurt, cream cheese, or ricotta, then decorated with fruits like berries, kiwi, or mango. For a savory version, you can add feta cheese, olives, herbs, and even a drizzle of balsamic glaze. It's a fun, fresh, and no-bake twist on pizza!

Can I make watermelon pizza ahead of time?

You can prep the ingredients — slice the watermelon and prepare the toppings — ahead of time, but it's best to assemble the watermelon pizza just before serving. This helps avoid soggy toppings or slipping layers due to the watermelon’s natural juices.

How long does watermelon pizza last in the fridge?

Once it's assembled, watermelon pizza is best eaten within 1 to 2 hours. After that, the watermelon may start to release moisture, which can make the toppings runny or slide off. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and enjoy them the same day.

Can I use other fruits on watermelon pizza?

Absolutely! Watermelon pizza is super versatile. Try kiwi, mango, pineapple, grapes, pomegranate seeds, or banana slices. Mix and match based on what you love or what’s in season. It’s a great way to use up leftover fruit, too!

Watermelon Pizza: A Refreshing Twist for Summer

Description

This colorful, no-bake watermelon pizza is the perfect summer treat! Using a thick slice of watermelon as the “crust,” you can build a sweet dessert pizza with yogurt and berries — or go savory with feta, olives, and herbs. Refreshing, customizable, and perfect for parties, brunches, or healthy snacking.

Ingredients

Scale

1 large seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch thick rounds

1 cup Greek yogurt, coconut yogurt, or cream cheese (for sweet versions)

1/2 cup mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)

1/4 cup fresh mint or basil, chopped (optional)

1/4 cup crumbled feta or goat cheese (for savory versions)

1/4 cup sliced Kalamata olives, cucumbers, or cherry tomatoes

1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (for savory)

Granola, chocolate chips, or crushed nuts (optional toppings)

Instructions

1. Cut the watermelon into 1-inch thick round slices from the center of the fruit to create your pizza “base.”

2. Pat each slice dry with paper towels to help toppings stick.

3. For sweet pizzas, spread a thin layer of yogurt or cream cheese on the watermelon.

4. Top with berries, mint, honey, or optional extras like granola or chocolate chips.

5. For savory pizzas, spread ricotta or olive oil lightly, then add feta, olives, cucumbers, or tomatoes. Drizzle with balsamic glaze.

6. Slice into wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.

7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For a vegan version, use coconut yogurt or cashew cream and skip the cheese.

Watermelon pizza is best served fresh, within 1–2 hours.

Set up a “build-your-own” station for parties — let guests customize their slices with sweet or savory toppings.
